    • Abstract:
      Totally extraperitoneal prosthetic (TEP) is a surgical technique for the treatment of hernia. The purpose of this research is to compare the efficacy of both general anaesthesia and spine anaesthesia for TEP herniorrhaphy. The number of patients who received TEP operations related to the injury from 2008 to 2022 was counted in this study. Patients with TEP operation were classified into general anaesthesia and spine anaesthesia. In this research, 186 related articles were found in the data base, and in the end, 8 were analysed. This study involved 2452 cases of hernia. The data of the operation time, the infection of the wound and the bleeding of the wound were analysed. The analysis of the data was done with RevMan 5.3. Results indicated that there was no significant difference between general anaesthesia and spinal anaesthesia in post‐surgical rates for post‐operative wound infection (odds ratio [OR], 0.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.49–1.83; p = 0.86); In general anaesthesia, there was no difference in the risk of post‐operative wound haematoma when compared with those treated with spinal anaesthesia (OR, 2.96; 95% CI, 0.37–23.69; p = 0.31). In the seven trials, there was no difference in the duration of the surgery between the general anaesthetic and the spinal anaesthesia group (mean difference, −1.44; 95% CI, −4.11 to 1.22; p = 0.29). Data from the available meta‐analysis indicate that there is no difference in the risk of post‐operative wound infection or wound haematoma when treated with TEP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
